Dear Marcus, Thanks for your reply... But its not working for me. The thing is my acl will not block www.example.com. it will only block www.example.com/something.com, because i am using urlpath_regex instead of url_regex in the acl declaration. Then i tried your regex also, but its not working for my problem. My situation is, sensex.com is working, but when this site redirect to http://landing.domainsponsor.com/oplatum.plmna/sites=www.someother.com , it is not working, because this URL path is ending with .com Is there any workaround for this...??? Hope now my Q is more clear... - -- --- Always try to find truth!!! ------------***---------------***--------------***------------ Its always nice to know that people with no understanding of technologies want to evaluate technical professionals based on their own lack of knowledge ------------***---------------***--------------***------------ --- On Sat, 3/28/09, Marcus Kool <marcus.kool@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Marcus Kool <marcus.kool@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: .com extension blocking causing blocking of redirecting URL's > To: "Truth Seeker" <truth_seeker_3535@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "Squid maillist" <squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Saturday, March 28, 2009, 1:53 PM > The ACL blocks URLs that end with > .com > i.e. it blocks a URL which is www.example.com while it does > not block www.example.com/index.html > > If you change the patterns to include a slash you are > fine. > The slash must prevent that domains with .com are matched. > e.g. > ..*\.com$ becomes .*\..*/.*\.com$ > > Marcus > > > Truth Seeker wrote: > > Hi Techies, > > > > I have an acl which blocks download of file with > harmful extension's. like .exe, .bat, .com, etc. This rule > is working fine. the following is the details of it; > > > > ### Blocking of Dangerous extensions to certain > groups > > acl dangerous_extension urlpath_regex -i > "/etc/squid/include-files/dangerous_ext > > ension.squid" > > http_access allow vip_acl dangerous_extension > > http_access allow power_acl dangerous_extension > > http_access allow ultimate_acl dangerous_extension > > http_access allow download_surfers_acl > dangerous_extension > > http_access deny dangerous_extension > > deny_info ERR_DANGEROUS_ESTENSIONS > dangerous_extension > > > > # cat > /etc/squid/include-files/dangerous_extension.squid > ..*\.exe$ > > ..*\.com$ > > ..*\.vb$ > > ..*\.vbs$ > > ..*\.vbe$ > > ..*\.cmd$ > > ..*\.bat$ > > ..*\.ws$ > > ..*\.wsf$ > > ..*\.scr$ > > ..*\.shs$ > > ..*\.pif$ > > ..*\.hta$ > > ..*\.jar$ > > ..*\..js$ > > ..*\.jse$ > > ..*\.lnk$ > > ..*\.mov$ > > ..*\.3gp$ > > ...*\.avi$ > > ..*\.rar$ > > ..*\.zip$ > > > > > > > > If there is a site which redirect traffic to another > .com site, will cause to trigger the above rule, which will > result in failure of a legitimate request.
